Enjoy incomparable views of one of Dubai’s most talked about landmarks at The View at The Palm. Located 240 metres high, the observation deck presents the stunning 360-degree panorama of Palm Jumeirah alongside the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline in the distance. The View at The Palm is located on level 52 of The Palm Tower, which also houses a café, a creative exhibition, interactive aquarium-themed tunnels and a gift shop. To further elevate your sky-high sightseeing experience, step up to The Next Level — at 250 metres above ground, the private, barrier-free space is the island's highest vantage point.

To get a panoramic view of the city you can take the Gloria Elevator from Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara up to the garden, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. Here you can take a stroll between sculptures and busts of heroes and gods from Greco-Roman mythology.

For a relaxing day trip, take the train to the former fishing village of Cascais. Here you can stroll on the beautiful decorated streets, experience the lively fish auction held every afternoon next to the main beach, visit "Museu do Mar" to see the rich history of Cascais or take a refreshing walk along the coastal road to Boca do Inferno ("Mouth of Hell") where high waves crash into gigantic caves.

Just 30 minutes south of Perth (and a five-minute ferry ride), Penguin Island is a unique nature reserve, home to Western Australia’s largest colony of little penguins. Don't miss the feeding time! The wildlife is the star attraction, but beyond that the island offers white sandy beaches and is surrounded by crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelling.
